This is a very early on teaser of the Tupolev Tu-95 "Bear" I'm working on. Now, "bear" in mind that I'm not going to make this a 1 to 1 replica of the actual Tu-95. It'll definitely look the part but most importantly for me, I want it to work the part more than anything else and I want to keep the part count as low as possible for VR use.
Other than that, it'll have a properly animated things on it, such as the landing gear and bomb bay and it'll have a completely furnished cockpit which will be VR compatible.
I've also made custom AG missles that represent the Russian Kh-101 AG missiles, which the modern version of the Tu-95 can carry irl.

There's still a lot of work to be done. Like, A LOT of work. But in the end you'll have a fully functonal and well presented Tu-95.
I might do another teaser once the cockpit is in and some more external work has been done.
Also, any suggestions and wishes are always welcome!
EDIT:
After a request, I rebuild the cockpit completely too look more like the actual Tu-95 cockpit. It's still not accurate but it's a very difficult shape to represent in SP. I don't have the skills for it anyway, that's for sure. So, this is as good as it gets for now:
Give it
Tsar Bomba@Sparky6004 I've added a new screenshot of the new cockpit. Still not 100% accurate but I think a lot better already.
@Sparky6004 TU-95MSM is what I'm going for (apparently). I'm not very knowledges on the Tu95 variants but apparently that's the one that has been modernized for the Kh-101/102 missiles. But yes, that one should have the capacity for six Kh-55's as well in the internal bay it says, so I'll try and figure out how to make that work with the rotating missile rack.
Also the Kh-55's look almost exactly like the cleavers in SP so that saves some work at least.
Thanks!
@VisionAviation depends on the variant, which one are you making?
The 95MS6 carries KH-55’s in the rotary I think
@Sparky6004 Not gonna lie, I tried the windshield and couldn' t get it to look 1 to 1 but, I'll try again!
Also, thanks for the tips! I'll see if I can make a rotary missile rack than! Do you know what kind of missiles would be in the rack?
Ok
Little bit of information for you
.
The TU-95 was not built to carry dumb/guided bombs, it was built for Nuclear Munitions and Long Range Missiles.
The TU-142 in the other hand is anti-submarine, which can carry depth charges and etc.
.
It’s not made for bombs. It has a rotary missile rack in the bombay
@VisionAviation
If you have photographical proof otherwise please show me. I’d like to have this info on it
.
Could you also do me a favor and actually make the cockpit windshield look 1:1...? I know it’s hard to ask of.
